Spy thriller combined with gay romance
on March 4, 2017
Posted by: TimothyPA
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
"London Spy" is a combination of spy thriller and gay romance, with strong performances by Ben Whishaw, Jim Broadbent and others. The mysteries unfold over five one-hour episodes filmed in and around London. It has multiple story twists, but may have a twist or two too many by the final minutes. Overall, it's still intriguing and entertaining.

Great picture quality
on January 25, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The picture quality on the screen, which is the most important feature of any TV, is excellent. The 32-inch screen size is also just right. Many TV screens are larger, but the 32-inch size is more than adequate. The TV has "smart features" that I haven't yet used, but will. The price was also very, very good. I expect this TV to last many years.

This alarm clock radio was inexpensive, and features large, bright numbers telling the time. Setting the time seemed somewhat difficult, but overall was fine.

Device to use worldwide

This device was used in Ireland and England, but can be used in other places worldwide. It is very easy to use, and small enough to carry in luggage without taking much room at all.

Entertaining, with good twists and turns.
on April 9, 2016

from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very clever and entertaining movie, with some good twists and turns. Some well-done special effects enhance the story. The "alternate ending" on the DVD isn't that different from the regular ending.
It's especially fun to watch compared to the television series with the same name and one character.

The Canyons A spoiled L.A. trust-fund kid discovers that his actress girlfriend is having a fling with her ex-flame, and subjects them both to a series of twisted mind games that spiral out of control in this erotically charged neo-noir thriller from director Paul Schrader and writer Bret Easton Ellis. In order to keep his trust fund intact and his influential father out of his business, bored rich kid Christian (real-life porn star James Deen) finances an independent horror film, with his assistant Gina (Amanda Brooks) serving as producer. Christian's girlfriend Tara (Lindsay Lohan), a former aspiring actress, is assisting with casting duties when her former boyfriend Ryan (Nolan Funk) emerges as the frontrunner to star in the film. At first Christian and Gina fail to recognize the romantic spark between Tara and Ryan -- the lusty remnants of a passionate fling from three years ago. But eventually, sleuthing Christian rightly discerns that Tara has taken him for a fool, and that the two former lovers are conducting an affair right under his nose. Driven by an insatiable thirst for vengeance, controlling Christian soon begins subconsciously tormenting them both until the psychological suffering becomes too great to bear, and the situation erupts into violence. Gus Van Sant co-stars. On The Road Jack Kerouac's seminal pseudo-autobiography finally heads to the big screen thanks to director Walter Salles Jr. (The Motorcycle Diaries) and executive producer Francis Ford Coppola. The tale is semi-based on the author's trips across America, with fiction intertwining with reportedly real events and people met along the way. The starring cast includes Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley, and Kirsten Dunst. José Rivera provides the adaptation.

A vanity production for Lindsay Lohan
on September 13, 2015
Posted by: TimothyPA
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was tedious and seemed to be a vanity production for Lindsay Lohan - who was semi-nude in a few scenes and who seemed to be play acting instead of actually acting. A murder toward the end of the movie seemed to be thrown in for shock value and to give weight to a weightless movie.

A classic love story and adventure
on January 19, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie tells a vibrant love story and is especially memorable depicting the sinking of the Titanic. The special effects are top notch, but some scenes seem a bit dated and obviously created by computer.

A somewhat disappointing DVD release, MGM/UA's The Princess Bride provides nothing extra beyond a theatrical trailer -- no commentary, no featurettes, not even cast and crew biography pages. The film is presented in both widescreen (1.85:1 letterboxed, non-anamorphic) and full-frame formats. The image is nice and clear, with beautiful, vivid colors and no evidence of artifacts such as shimmering or edge enhancement. There is some slight indication of grain and a touch of softness from time to time, which may be more indicative of the age of the film than the quality of the transfer. The print used for the transfer also has some very infrequent speckles and marks, but overall the transfer is quite watchable. The English audio track is presented as Dolby 5.1, though this seems to be little more than a simple transfer of the original Dolby Surround mix, rather than a remix, and as such it is fairly ordinary. Surrounds are hardly called into play, and most of the directional work in the front is in Mark Knopfler's music. Dialogue ranges from clear to somewhat muddy, depending on scene and actor. There is also a Spanish audio track, in mono. This has a terribly compressed sound to it, with brittle-sounding dialogue recording, a variable voice cast, and highly inadequate matching. Subtitles are available in French and Spanish. The trailer is presented full-screen, and mastered from a very bad print. The main DVD menu is animated, with music. There are rumors of an improved edition of this disc, but for now this will have to do.

This is a mildly funny comedy, and may be enjoyed because the actors seemed to be having fun playing their parts.

One of the funniest films of all time, Blazing Saddles, is awarded an excellent 30th anniversary DVD release by Warner Bros., a company that has often shown great care to the important titles in its vault. The film itself is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio. The English soundtrack has been remastered in Dolby Digital 5.1, which makes it seem like one is hearing the infamous farting scene for the very first time. There is a healthy amount of quality extra materials, including a commentary by director Mel Brooks. Although it seems as if he was simply recorded while talking about the film (he never once refers to what is happening onscreen, and the commentary ends only an hour into the film), he recollections are amusing and enlightening. He discusses in detail how the various behind-the-scenes people as well as the cast came together. The other five-star nugget included on this disc is the pilot for the television spin-off Black Bart. Starring Louis Gossett Jr., the show is as amazingly unfunny as the movie is uproarious, but one may be struck by the crudity of the comedy that would have been telecast in the mid-'70s. A making-of documentary and a section from a special on the late great Madeline Kahn help make this DVD a must-own for comedy enthusiasts.

Funny, but not all that funny

This movie is funny, but perhaps not super-funny. The classic farting scene is funniest, but it's pretty low-brow humor.

Very good, but perhap gimmicky.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is considered a classic, and it is very entertaining, but may be a bit "gimmicky" in the story or Forrest Gump appearing in real historical images. It is very good because it is so all-encompassing, taking place all over the U.S. and around the world. Tom Hanks' scene talking at Jenny's grave is an example of great acting.

Can this tv be configured so that the close captioning comes on automatically when the sound is muted? On my other samsung tv UN32J525DAFXZA the only option for closed captioning is on all the time or off all the time.

Yes, the close captioning can be turned on with a couple of quick clicks on the remote, and it remains on.
